In this Collection, you get to know the 10 most beautiful Tours around the Tyrolean Achensee on exciting via ferrata and picturesque hiking trails. The best part? Wherever you roam or stand, you can enjoy a fantastic view.

Nestled between the Rofan and Karwendel mountains, the Achensee has been a popular hiking area for a long time thanks to its beautiful pastures and hiking trails. Again and again, you are greeted by a panorama of the deep blue lake, known as the ‘Tyrolean Sea’, and the impressive mountain peaks.

With 500 kilometres (310 miles) of marked and well-maintained hiking trails that range in difficulty, the region offers a unique nature experience for everyone. The Rofan mountains to the east of the Achensee are spectacularly rugged, yet friendly at the same time. To the west, in the largest nature reserve in the Northern Alps – Nature Park Karwendel – there is a huge diversity of flora and fauna. More golden eagles live here than anywhere else in the Alps.

Whichever route you choose, you are guaranteed a great outdoor adventure.
